While it might not seem like the best use of your cash, there are plenty of pairs available that you’ll wear time and time again, long after the trick-or-treaters are gone. Skulls for example, have long been a mainstay for designers such as Alexander McQueen. The label sprinkles the motif throughout its boots, sneakers and heels for an edgy year-round look.
